UPSCALE CONDO RIGHT ON OUR OWN PRIVATE BEACH! SUPER PRIVATE AND SECURE FIFTH FLOOR CONDO. FULL KITCHEN, WIFI TWO FLAT SCREEN TV'S,WASHER DRYER. WE HAVE OUT OWN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND ELECTRIC HOT WATER HEATER. FREE GARAGE PARKING POOL TOWELS

Oh my.. I've stayed in two different places while in Montego Bay and I can say that hands down this place was the better of the two. It's beautiful, clean, on the ocean to where you just go downstairs on the property and have a private beach experience. This is a must see and when I return I will be coming right back here. Did I mention that it's quiet? And close to the airport? This property is a gem! Thomas was very informative and gave me tons of great information. I am without a doubt very happy I chose this place.

The listing was as described with private beach & very private quiet resort. Dr. Shae made suggestions on places I should try. I was able to ride with friends however at this location you will likely need a cab or to rent a car. I would definitely stay here again.

This is paradise. Thomas was a great host. The condo looked exactly like the pictures. The views of the ocean were breathtaking!!!!! We had the pool and the beach to ourselves. I wish the restaurant had a variety of food and soft drinks. I would definitely stay here again.

Thomas' place was just as described and the best of both worlds. It is secluded but only about a 7 minute drive from food and 15 minutes from nightlife. Derrick at the front desk was exceptionally helpful. Can't wait to return!

This is a very special place--it is a GORGEOUS resort that wasn't finished. And as a result, you get a spectacular beach, pool, etc without any people. The apartment is full of Bosch equipment including washer/dryer, dishwasher, air conditioning--etc. I have heard that the Caribbean regional Bank (that owns the Hilton nearby) just bought the property and so within a year will be as crowded as every other place in Mobay. For now, the staff are minimal but super kind and attend to all key needs. So indeed, take the advantage and stay there! soak up the privacy! And indeed, Thomas is super pleasant and provided us everything we needed--a real asset to Airbnb.

This is the property in transition it was a three-phase hi luxury five star condominium complex that like many other properties of the decade after 2000 took a financial hit so hard that it bankrupt The investors. Leaving the property unfinished and much like a palace with a few guards but no king. As a guest you know everyone that works there and they know you. Security is located at every turn so safety is not a concern. Basic functions like pool health club and concierge are available. The pool is something you might find at the Hearst mansion. The beach is a plus plus and it's all yours to enjoy. The one major drawback is, this property while in transition to its new owners will be run by a skeleton staff such that access to bar service room service housekeeping at Cetera will be very limited if any. However the property itself is very well-maintained and very secure. This property was exactly what my future bride and I needed after a full summer of collaborating on a project that ran us ragged. We have been completely restored in our creativity our menatal state, and our love life in three days there. Go there to get away and feel like you own your own palace and beach or go there and find 20 rooms to rent and have the most amazing incredible private beautiful destination wedding. Or go there with your bachelorette party Bachelor party or group for a particular anniversary event or birthday. This place will be all yours and you will love it, be sure and hire a bus to drive you all around, and be sure to hire a chef and bartender.but remember, this is island country. Be prepared for falling coconuts and power outages spotty Wi-Fi and questionable cable television, especially if you're watching the worst US election in history. Thank you Thomas for taking care of our needs I know we were not the easiest of tests we hope to visit soon perhaps for something larger more meaningful and more exciting.

PaulJune 2016

My host was not in the country at the time, but everything ran quite smoothly. We were able to gain access to the house readily. If we had any questions or concerns, the property manager was readily available. The house is clean and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood. I had my own car, so transportation was never my issue. The house has both running hot and cold water, for those who are not used to housing with only cold water. ;) Everything went off without a hitch. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants somewhere to stay off the beaten path that is the tourist strip. You're near things without being in the middle of things. This is my 2nd stay. I'd definitely do it again. Thank you, Michelle!

Elesia CJune 2015

It was awesome. Right from the start, it was a friendly neighbourhood there was a store nearby for daily groceries. Our host was very helpful, the entire experience was way better than we planned. We planning on coming back December, we are definitely staying here again

My friends and me stayed a few days in this appartment. We enjoyed fantastic support from Michelle and her friends. They took care of everything and all problems/questions.

FabrizioJuly 2014

Me and my best friend stayed at Michelle's house for our first visit to Jamaica. We had an absolutely amazing two weeks. I would like to thank michelle for all her help, before we left London Michelle contacted me and arranged for someone to collect us from the airport, when we arrived someone named James was waiting with my name on a card, he was extremely friendly and professional. James also took us on all our day excursions to ochi rios and negril. We called him all the time to take us places and he was brilliant as we didn't want to rent a car and drive it being our first visit to Jamaica. Throughout our stay michelle kept in contact to make sure we were okay, the caretaker oneil was also very helpful with collecting the keys and helping us with little things like using the oven, the tv. Michelle's place has everything you could need like wifi and towels uk adaptors which was amazing as we forgot ours. We really liked the fact it was a bit out of the tourist area but still in a nice area with nice views. We will definitely use Michelle's house again for our next visit to Jamaica:)

NicholaJanuary 2015

I stayed two nights at Michelle's, it was perfect us. We had a rental car so we came and went as we please. Very quiet neighborhood and we also felt very safe even when retuning late at night.

CordelJune 2016

Michelle house is great. The location is perfect for business as it is located a few minutes from the Hilton. The home had all the equipment we needed including WIFI, which had great connection. The house had an alarm system which made us feel very safe and secure. The home also had a Bluetooth sound bar so we could play our music. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are a great size. The house has an amazing breeze in the evening and the Patio outside is a great place to chill after a busy day. There is one local shop which closes quite early. The house is a ten minute drive off the main up hill, but the views and cool breeze make it all worth it. If you have no car it may be an issue, however hiring one whilst you stay here is a great idea. I think the place is a lot better than the photos represent and the price is great for the location and property. I will be booking this place again and I've encourage connections to book in the future.

Jus' Paradise is an aptly named private villa located in a gated residential area of upscale homes in the lush hills of Rose Hall.

This well located home sits between two renowned golf courses: the challenging White Witch and championship Cinnamon Hill course. Five minutes west is the famous Half Moon course. Also four minutes downhill is the Montego Bay Convention Centre.
Before 10 AM and after 4 PM, Jus' Paradise golfers may take the complimentary carts to the White Witch 16th hole or the Cinnamon Hill 11th tee for unreserved time to putt around and try their drivers down the long fairways. Cart paths on both are also available for early morning and evening joggers.
Architecturally impressive, the design is on three levels. From the main level lawn, steps lead down to the lower level, barbecue, soft lawns and the long, sun drenched symmetrical pool enveloped in lush gardens. The pool terrace opens into a spacious mirrored gym, kitchenette and full bath with double shower, sauna and steam room.
Living areas are designed for relaxed Caribbean barefoot comfort, not fussy or formal. From the central Great Room, doors open wide to a furnished balcony (great spot for each evening's hors d'oeuvres by Chef Linval).
Guests who must work a bit during their vacation will appreciate the bright, air conditioned, office with laptop and HP printer, fax machine and copier.
Also on the main level is the master bedroom, large and private with a glamorous en suite bathroom. Walk up the mahogany staircase to two more bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom. These king bedded rooms can accommodate adult couples or they can create a convenient parent-child suite of rooms for a family of four or more.
From the state-of-the-art granite and stainless steel kitchen, your chef and butler will serve meals to your choice of dining areas. Start with eye opener coffee on the balcony or at your bedroom door, followed each day by full cooked breakfasts, delicious lunches and memorable dinners on the open air balcony. Or dine in the Great Room with three window walls open to the clear Jamaican air and breeze from the sea. The chef and butler gladly serve children's dinners early so parents may linger longer over an all adult candlelight dinner.
Of special note in Jus' Paradise is the excellent staff with a combined tenure of 35 years here. Ask your good butler, Kemon, to treat you to a world class sunset (with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres) from the top of White Witch. Take your camera. Also, do not miss Kemon's signature health drink, a Soursop Smoothie. Delicious and good for your health!
From Chef Linval's state-of-the-art kitchen with two Wolf ovens, six gas burners and a grill, this remarkable chef creates amazing meals. Chinese barbecue and flavorful coconut snapper, grilled tenderloin, banana flambe and much more. His soups and salads rate 5 Stars and you will dream about his mango sorbet. Later, you can count on traditional Jamaican jerk chicken, ribs, lobster and kabobs at the distinctive Jus' Paradise Friday Night Jamaica Pool Party.
Kitchen amenities include:
Two Wolf ovens and grill.
Outdoor amenities include:
Salt water pool and four complimentary Aqua-Jogger belts.
Other amenities include:
Full gym with treadmill, bench, universal, step-up, elliptical, weights and power balls. Laptop, printer, photocopier, scanner and fax machine. Massage table, two two-seater golf carts, back-up generator and satellite radio.
Onsite staff includes a chef, butler, gardener, housekeeper and laundress.

"Transfers and car rentals may be arranged. Please inquire for more information about our concierge services."
Rates subject to change without notice.

Our villa is located 20 min drive away from the airport. This is the only private house in all of Montego Bay area right at the seaside! It is FAR from the noisy center, clubs/bars/nightlife, which makes it perfect for rest and relaxation.

UNIQUE LOCATION
===============
Located within walking distance from IBEROSTAR Hotel. If you look at the map of Montego Bay and St.James area, you will see that there is a main road (A1) along the coast. You will also see that every access to the seaside is filled by the hotels, while private houses are located on the other side of the road - usually high up at top of the hills and mountains.
As a result, there is no private property right by the coast, except for our house! That is why when we saw it - we fell in love with it and made it our home.
The view from veranda (balcony) is simply stunning! What is more, it is never hot there because of the fresh sea breeze and the absence of direct sun on the balcony. We love to spend our days and evenings there talking to our guests.
WATER AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
===========================
If you travel to Jamaica for the first time and stay in a private home, you'd soon learn that most locations in Jamaica often have problems with water pressure and electricity supply. What is more, hardly any of them have hot water.
However, we are lucky, because our house is on the water and electricity supply which was specifically created for Iberostar Hotel (*****), and unlike other locations in Montego Bay, we hardly ever experience any water/electricity shortages. Still, please note, that we have a solar heater for hot water, so it can be limited at night or on rainy days. Please, do not expect anything like in Europe or the USA, since even 5 star hotels have issues with water pressure and hot water supply.
INTERNET ACCESS
===============
My work is directly related to the internet and that is why I have to be online 24/7. That is why our house is probably the only place in Jamaica that has one main and three backup connections!
1. ADSL (by Flow provider, which is a monopolist for ADSL) with extremely fast connection, which is available EVERYWHERE in the unit. Feel free to watch films and talk via skype.
2. 4G- (by Digicel provider) fast backup internet connection which is available in case of any technical works done by Flow. This connection allows to use skype/email etc.
Please beware, many locations in Jamaica say "they have internet", but it usually turns out to be too slow or non-existent. Or it only works at a certain location of the place. The reason for that is - good internet connection is extremely expensive in Jamaica and people just don't bother buying it. However, I personally have to buy it anyway because of my work, and of course it is available to our guests for free.
So, when we say we have internet - we mean it!
IMPORTANT: there is NO telephone land line in Jamaica, so there is no telephone in the room. However, if you stay longer than one night and need to make calls - we would provide you with the local simcard and a cellphone.
KITCHEN (private)
==============
We are happy to provide you with everything you need for cooking if you wish to cook by yourself and save up on spending money in restaurants. There is a cooker, microwave, pans, plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons etc. If you don't find something you need - just name it and we will bring it for your comfort.
LIVING ROOM (private)
===============
Feel free to enjoy the cosy living room, where cable TV is available for your extra entertainment. Please view photos.
BEDROOM (private)
===============
There is one Queen Size Bed in the bedroom. Bedlinen is provided. Please view photos.
BATHROOM (private)
================
Standard Jamaican bathroom - small, but very comfortable. Bath tab, shower, mirror and 24/7 hot water supply. Towels, toilet paper and soap are provided. Please view photos.
VERANDA= BALCONY (shared with us)
==============================
The access to veranda is available directly from your living room, where you can enjoy the view of the ocean while having breakfast/lunch/dinner, simply relax or meet up with us to discuss your trip and/or adventures!
PARKING
=======
The secured parking is available inside the gated area at no additional cost.
GARDEN
=======
Free to enjoy the view of a true Jamaican garden at the back of our house, which includes such exotic plants as coconut, guinep, soursop, breadfruit, ackee and almond trees. You can also try fresh plantains and bananas if there is season for them!
GATED AREA.
===========
Our house is located in our private secured gated area. There are CCTV cameras installed at every corner of our villa. We also have guarding dogs, who are rather small and always friendly to our guests, but they don't let any strangers get anywhere close to the house, unless they are invited by us.
AIR CONDITIONER
===============
Air conditioner is available at extra cost of 10 USD per day. Otherwise there is a fan in the room free of charge.
LAUNDRY
========
Laundry is available at extra cost of 10 USD per one wash.
Guests have an access to their fully equipped apartment, balcony, garden, parking, a patio with beach chairs and hammock by ...

Since our house is the only house built at the sea side, the closest neighbourhood starts on the other side of the road (5 minutes walk) and is called Lilliput. It is a beautiful authentic Jamaican neighbourhood which lays in the hills, with true Jamaican houses, people, traditions and hospitality. If you wish to experience the way of life of Jamaicans, listen to some reggae or just talk about life with more locals - we'd be happy to introduce you to our friends as well!
In the morning you will have a chance to see our friends fishermen passing by our house and can even buy freshly caught fish from them if you choose to have it for lunch.
We love this neighbourhood, because it is relatively quiet (as much as it can get in Jamaica..), there are many nice people around, and it's not as hot as in any other area of Montego Bay, thanks to the sea access and fresh wind!
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING! (expect for nightlife.)
We mean it. Just see for yourself:
Local shops and Food- 5 minutes.
=========================
5 minute walk to the nearest set of shops, where you can buy the most essential things such as bread, drinks, fruits etc. There is also a small local cafe, where Jamaican cooked food can be bought at a rather low price.
There is even a Jerk Center, which cooks National Jamaican food in the evenings.
Small supermarket - 10 minutes
========================
10 minute walk to the nearest supermarket in the hills.
Public beach - 5 minutes.
===================
5 minute walk to the public SAND beach. Please note, however, sea weed "is included" along with some plastic bottles on the road to the beach, as unfortunately everywhere in Montego Bay.
Transport - 2 minutes.
===================
2 minute walk to the main road, where you can get a cheap ROUTE TAXI (Jamaican public transport) to go anywhere else in Montego Bay.
This is Jamaica. This means that you should be ready for the following things:
1. Loud Music (Everywhere in Jamaica).
Loud music. It is everywhere in Jamaica! It would seem as if local people never sleep and listen to the music day and night! Since our house is located away from the neighbourhood, we are lucky not to hear music too much at our place, but sometimes you can still hear it a little bit at veranda.
2. Untidy Paintwork (Everywhere in Jamaica).
I've seen many complaints in the internet for other locations and even for some 5* hotels about the paintwork in Jamaica being not tidy. You would see paint from the walls on the ceiling and vice versa. Well, what can I say.. this is true. ALL houses in Jamaica (literally ALL) have untidy paintwork on the walls and ceiling. Why? It seems to be a special Jamaican style for paintwork, because nobody cares much about this :)
3. Seaweed on the beaches (Everywhere in Jamaica).
Don't look at all these pictures of "Montego Bay white beaches" posted in the internet. They are not true! The only beach that doesn't have too much seaweed is Doctor's Cave Beach, which charges 6 USD entrance fee. All other beaches, including those in 5* hotels – ALL have seaweed. It gets cleaned every day, but it comes back in a few minutes, especially in a stormy weather. The reason for that is a simple one – seaweed is protected by the government as natural eco reserve and it is prohibited to completely remove it from the seafloor.
4. Flying cockroaches, small lizards, mice/rats, bees, mosquitoes.(Everywhere in Jamaica).
Hardly anyone talks about this, BUT please beware, you might encounter any of these creatures while staying in any place of Jamaica. Even though all of them are harmless to human, still - if you are allergic to bees, for example, make sure you have the antidote with you!
Please note, there are certain times of the year when you need to be prepared for the following:
Bees are especially active in spring and summer (April-July). However, in 3-5 star hotels you will often see them all year around, because of syrup and other sweet stuff.
Mice/rats may try to break in the house in the search for shelter right after the rainy season (October-November), but you won't see them in other months.
Mosquitoes are especially active during the rainy season (September-November).
Flying cockroaches and lizards are active all year around.
We are doing our best to keep pests away from our house by keeping it clean, putting mesh nets on the windows and asking our guests to keep the doors shut at all times, but if you are afraid of these creatures for one reason or the other, Jamaica might be a bit of a tough place in this case.

This is my second review for Irina, that's right we loved it so much we had to go back! We instantly made friends with Irina during the first stay. My husband and I came down to MoBay to get married, we stayed at Irina's before the wedding and again about a week after the wedding. We had a lot of friends and family come in with a lot of last minute things to do, but she left us alone to do our work at times, and then we hung out with some Red Stripe at others. This is the second stay review, she took us to two different photoshoots! We went to these amazing places for the pictures, secluded ruins and beautiful secluded waterfalls, all with our wedding gear and other accessories she had in her house. The experience alone was one of a kind! The pictures are out of this world! She also loaned my husband her brand new guitar! He was able to write, practice, and play a song at our wedding because of Irina. There was no way to take one down (we are from New Orleans) and Irina, once again, saved the day. She came to our wedding, took wonderful photos there as well! Everyone was fascinated with her! Irina is truly a unique soul, extremely talented in many ways, very personable, and beyond hardworking! We now count ourselves lucky to know her! If you are lucky enough to find this listing available, I would recommend you jump on it immediately! The space we stayed was absolutely perfect!! I cooked a ton in the kitchen - gas stove! The bedroom had a closet big enough for all of our 'crap'. The veranda was probably our favorite spot. You can hear the soothing waves just downstairs, feel the breeze from the sea, see the cute dogs and puppies walking around. Honestly this place, along with Irina, are just perfect!

CrystalMarch 2016

Wonderful stay, the place was easy to get to and just as depicted. Irina was a gracious host and very informative. I will definitely be staying here on my next visit!

RobinMarch 2016

Irina was very helpful in advance of our arrival. She organized a pick up from the airport and gave us some more helpful advices. But the best thing was arriving at her beautiful house placed directly at the coast. The view was astonishing and the apartment clean. We had a private bath, a little kitchen, a living room and a bedroom for our own. The house is placed in a very quiet area and we would advice a rental car if you plan to have some action. For chilling, dreaming and chatting though this is the place to be ;-) As we were just starting a self-organized trip around Jamaica it was so helpful to profit from Irina's knowledge since she'd travelled the island herself a lot and has already been living here for a couple of years. She gave us an outline of Jamaicas places to be and also some insiders... Please note that you should be okay with dogs as there are at least 3 very nice and cuddly ones living there. Many thanks again for those awesome days. We would have loved to stay longer but it was booked out anyway ;-P

MoJanuary 2016

Irena was great and we really enjoyed our stay there. It is a beautiful location and we would defiantly stay there again.

patrickJuly 2016

Irina was very helpful and had a very welcoming spirit. She helped us throughout our short stay. It's a very prime location to hang with locals. We will definitely be staying with her again.

DiJune 2016

She was more than willing to go an extra mile to make us fell comfortable and guided us to all beautiful places around but we missed snorkelling around the sunken ships ... might be we come back for that again.

Amazing, incredible, so enjoyable the view is simple breathtaking! Irina is an awesome ambassador for Jamaica with a great knowledge of the many wonderful places to see here. The unit is a great value, it is clean and true to the listing. We will be back!

The Villa was designed to appear small and humble until you walk through the front lobby and into the piano lounge. This is a palace size Villa that has ample lounging areas and seating as well as bars and tanning chairs. We boast a saltwater and a fresh water pool for added preference. The entire premises is elegantly furnished with a modern art deco fusion atmosphere. 24 hour pool access :D
Breakfast is included and restaurant and bar is functioning all year. Staff is light but incredible and always there to greet with warm Jamaican welcome.

Montego Bay East is the best neighborhood. Boasts the best FREE beaches for our guests and all excursions are most accessible from here.

**If you have food allergies we need to be aware of that before arrival**

Excellent Host, everybody very kind. Very clean place, would stay in heartbeat again.

SandraNovember 2016

Zoltan's place is my new home away from home. Upon arrival I was greeted with a big hug. Dropped off my bag in my room, and then the fun began. Music was pumping by the pool, people gathered in the evening in the lounge or on the terrace by the bar. Hung out with a cold Red Stripe, or a rhum beverage "ya mon". The hot tub bubbled all night alongside a fresh water pool. Traditional breakfast was served every morning. Lunch and dinner were also offered, but if you were looking for the real deal, just had to let them know that you were hungry and they took take care of the rest and found you when it was ready. The view from every direction was just spectacular. Can't wait to go back and to send many more there way.

The friendly and clean Stay and Rest guesthouse situated in the green hills between Mo Bay and Falmouth, surrounded by a garden with bananas planten and bread fruit trees. Relax and enjoy the Jamaican culture and the sweet roots reggae music around.

We have three apartments. This one is pretty and cool, bright painted having a van.
This apartment has two rooms, one in fresh orange color, with two grilled windows towards the lush green garden, a comfortable queensize bed and a door to the private big bathroom. The other room is sky blue painted and has an victorian style queensize bed, a grilled window to the garden and a grilled door. This apartment has a private shower and toilet room in bright orange.
We have wlan internet in the studio area outside the house.
We sometimes cook and if you ask we are willing to share. If you eat, please offer a fair contribution.
Most of the time when the owner is around you can get a lift to Montego Bay for a reasonable fee, just ask. Also trips around the island can arrange. Otherwise there are buses and the taxis are cheap and drive night and day.
MontegoBay is only about 16km/20 min ride away.

Our guesthouse “Stay and Rest” is situated in the middle of Lilliput, a growing community at the ocean front between Montego Bay and Falmouth. And it`s only 25 min from the International Sangster Airport, Montego Bay.
The guesthouse is situated in the beautiful mellow green hills between the Great House Rose Hall and the Iberostar Beach Resort. In the closer area you find the Jamaican style of bars, restaurants and little food shops. About 10 min walk down the hill you reach the ocean and some nice little wild beaches with turquoise waters. The coastal road (bus and taxi stop) carries you to many white sandy dream beaches with cristal clear waters. All surrounded with fascinating corall riffs, perfect for snorkeling. Montego Bay and Falmouth are each only about nine miles away. There and along the coastal road you can find almost everything you can think of: nightlife, concerts, beaches, kiteboarding, river rafting, tennis, gulf, horseback riding, scuba diving, craft markets and a whole lot more.
All of the above is very easy to reach; the bus and taxi fares are rather low. Taxis run all day and through the night.
If you come with your own vehicle you drive the highway 1 from the airport towards Falmouth. When you reach Rosehall after 5 km there is a turn to your right side into the hills. It`s the Lilliput Jerk Centre and The Green Circle Sports Bar at this crossing. From there you give us a call and we will guide you the last piece up the hill.
Otherwise if you move on your own you can follow the Bob Man Hill road and the signs to the New Testament Church of God / Lilliput. As you reach the church you turn to your left into Road 46 up the hill. After the road is unpaved you turn twice to your left and here you are. Otherwise call and we will pick you up.
The people in this neighbourhood are trying to survive with dignity. They are happy about "All Exclusive" tourists. You find a lot of local little shops around to buy food. Feel free to buy at their shops, eat at their places and have a drink in the area ... if you like. ;) Otherwise the touristic life is in very easy reach.

Hylton and Derrick were the best!! I'm so relaxed and it was the perfect getaway for me and my sweetie. Thank you for making me feel at home in Jamaica. Everything was beautiful and there was always music...anyone who knows me knows music keeps my spirit right. The food was AMAZING and any time we needed a ride, Hylton was courteous and helped us out, with a smile. I'll be smiling for a long time after this trip. Thank you again and I'm sure you'll be hearing from me/us again!

KimberlyOctober 2015

Our stay in jamaica would'nt of been the same if we had'nt met our amazing host hylton and his group. This rasta family imidietly made us feel at home and generously lended their time to us taking us around the island and sharing his knowledge about it's local culture and it's familiar ways. You won't be disappointed in your stay if you are willing to live the real jamaican experience.

Thank you so, Mr. Brown, Derrick, Chavel and the others there for making me feel so welcome. You cooked awesome meals for me, your accomodations were comfortable and clean, and I always felt safe and cared for. I would recommend this place to travellers who are looking for reasonably-priced and decent accomodations. The wifi was convenient to be able to use and was suitable for emailing and texting, but not for calling. Thanks again for everything! Chris from Canada

Hylton was amazing. He kept in contact with me and made me feel welcome. Great little place in which you can really experience Jamaican life!!!

Judith was quick and very responsive to helping me with my reservation. My best friend and I stayed in the apartment and were floored when we opened the door after checking in. The view of the ocean from the living room and bedroom were incredible. Time your showers out quick because the water heater will give you about 4-5 minutes of extreme heat before going luke warm. There's laundry/dishwasher in the apartment and the kitchen has everything you need to cook meals with. My best friend comfortably slept in the living room and I took the master and we had our own bathrooms. We had stayed at the Hilton our first night in Jamaica and even though it wasn't all-inclusive, I much preferred the Palmyra. The hot tub was closed and I didn't really feel much like swimming in the pool. If this is your first time to Jamaica, a helpful suggestion is to be ready to tip anyone who helps you. If you visit Negril, beware the dudes who try to show you the "Bob Marley" cave at Rick's Cafe. Will try to charge you $40 when they don't even work there. My advice to anyone thinking about the Palmyra, is to definitely stay here and also make sure you have a budget for taxis and to find out which restaurants have free night shuttles to and from the Palmyra. Careta with Lady Reta Irie Tours was incredible. Richard is also her husband and you may meet him! She picked us up from the residence and spent the entire day with us showing us around-- she felt like family. You will want to get out and see as much as you can! If you like peace, quiet, and a beautiful view... this is the place for you. Bring an auxiliary cord so you can plug your music into the bedroom sound system. ENJOY! Thank you Judith!

JonathanMarch 2016

Judith was very helpful in answering questions, describing the property, and working with us to book the unit. The unit is very clean and up to date. It has excellent view and all the amenities. We loved the unit, building, and the entire community. We highly recommend Judith and this community.

MikeApril 2016

Very clean, spacious, quiet, safe and beautiful flat. It was nice to hear the ocean while I sleep.

JosephFebruary 2015

I booked a suite for a brief one night stay prior to leaving Jamaica because it was close to the airport. The welcome we received from the staff was warm, and friendly. The suite was air conditioned and spotless and our patio was large with the most breathtaking view of the Ocean, and clean white sand beaches. We loved watching four dolphins at play from our patio the morning before we left. There is a restaurant a short walk across the grounds that serve the most amazing burgers and fries. The grounds are beautiful, the pool beautiful. The pillow topped outdoor sofas were so fun and comfortable in the gazebo where we enjoyed some evening drinks we brought down from our suit as the pool bar was not open, and the hot tub was being cleaned so we didn't get to use that but swimming in the clear turquoise blue waters steps away from the entrance made up for that easily..

RhondaMarch 2015

Judith was incredibly easy to work with and highly communicative. She made the process very seamless and straightforward. The property and unit was even more amazing than advertised and we had a fantastic time. The staff was particularly welcoming and helpful, and the property was perfect: quiet and peaceful with a serene, beautiful beach and pool area. We enjoyed having our own kitchen for making breakfast and enjoying coffee and tea on the balcony, which had stunning views of the beach/ocean. The property is also quite close to two of my favorite restaurants in Jamaica - Scotchies and The Far Out Fish Hut - both are highly recommended! On any return visit to Montego Bay, you can be sure we will be staying in one of Judith's properties at the Palmyra!

JamesMay 2015

The place was very nice and Judith responded immediately when I had questions. I hope this vacation spot will be around in the near future. The staff was great. Very beautiful place!!!! The property is bank owned and hopefully they make it. I would love to go back and visit.

SherylMay 2016

My host was wonderful, very accomodating ,very pleasant.

Daily housekeeping can be arranged at an additional cost and arranged through the concierge and the Condo Management directly. Upon Check-out you will be required to pay $35 US Dollars house Keeping fee. This is a non-smoking property. Please be aware that this property is self catering, so I advise you to stop by at the supermarket on your way to the condo.
Please note that this condo DOES NOT have Air Conditioning, The main bedroom has a large celling fan and the living room is equipped with electric fans. And we have just recently purchased a Dyson AC fan for the living area.
PLEASE READ THE FULL AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING! Again if you are expecting hotel style accommodation with hotel style facilities this is not the place for you. If you want a nice chilled getaway, with a beautiful condo set in a nice environment this is the place for you.
All guests have access to some onsite fitness facility, swimming pool, white sandy private beach, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi in the lobby (pool side & sable palm), secure underground car parking, 24 hour security, lobby concierge from 7am until 11pm daily.

There is also the reception and security are on site to help with any requests you may have and to check you in and out.

In addition the Rose Hall, Half moon, Rui and the Ritz Charlton (due to re open in December 2014) hotels are all close by, there is a wide selection of restaurants, shopping villages and supermarkets, all within 10 minutes drive.
If you are a golf enthusiast there are three world-class courses in close proximity: White Witch, Cinnamon Hill, and Half Moon.
My personally recommendation would be to hire a car, as this will make your stay much more enjoyable and give you the freedom and flexibility to explore the island and all the secrets it has to offer. Alternatively, you should take the number of the driver who dropped you at the resort or simply as reception to recommend a driver.
These condos are privately owned, by people who either live in Europe, the US, or Kingston and use these condos as holiday homes or weekend getaways, this means that the resort is very peaceful and there are not alot of guests around. But as mentioned before there is reception staff, house keeping, life guards and 24hr security. This means it's an idea location to relax, chill out and have some me time or a romantic getaway. If you are looking for a party location or a hotel this property is not for you.
Upon Check-out you will be required to pay $35 US Dollars house Keeping fee.
PLEASE READ THE FULL AND DETAILED DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING! Again if you are expecting hotel style accommodation with hotel style facilities this is not the place for you. If you want a nice chilled getaway, with a beautiful condo set in a nice environment this is the place for you.

What a fantastic way to ring in my birthday! Porsche's condo is beautiful, and the view of the ocean from the balcony was breathtaking. Because the resort is now just condos, there were few people there, which provided a perfect opportunity to relax and recharge. The beach is secluded and well-maintained, and the property itself is amazing. The staff was very helpful, and they arranged for a a driver to pick us up from the airport. Odarie ended up being our unofficial tour guide, and made our stay so memorable. Michele is available to cook any meal you want, but she's very popular (with good reason) so reserve her early. Bottom line, if you're looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway, this is it!

AFebruary 2016

Everything was set up nice and perfect for our stay. The directions were clear and we ended up in one of the most beautiful locations I have seen. We will be back for sure. If you come to this location. please note that this was going to be a resort but if is up for sale. The pool, beach, and common areas are very well maintained but the rest of the place is empty. Hit the store on your way in and enjoy the quiet. There are security guards so we felt very safe. We saw literally 12 people max but everyone was enjoying the peace and quiet and beauty It was an amazing stay and the condo itself was very well appointed with everything we needed. Great sunken bathtub and two nice showers, big stocked kitchen. Very close to restaurants. Nice patio. I didn't want to leave.

Maria and Carl (C&M Bunkhouse) March 2016

My husband and I really enjoyed the privacy and peaceful location. The condo is beautifully appointed and was very clean. The kitchen had all the necessities. Judith, the local representative was on hand at arrival and made sure we had her information should we had questions. She was very helpful with recommendations as well. A rental car was a must for us because we like to be on the go and making trips to the grocery store and to dinning was helpful.

JenniferFebruary 2015

We arrived at the Palmyra and were immediately impressed with the property. It is well designed with excellent landscaping set on a private beach. The condo is as represented in the photos and is well appointed. It's a shame that the development has not been able to reach completion. It would be an amazing resort. That being said, we had a great time here. Jani at the front desk was extremely helpful. The beachfront had plenty of beach chairs and the gazebo was way cool. Inside the condo we really appreciated the quality of the appliances and furnishings. The only thing we missed was A/C. We would recommend friends to stay here. DefInitely worth it!

MoniqueJanuary 2015

Overall the apartment was tidy and clean and all appliances were new and working. The cupboards were a little sticky. The room was as advertised: spacious and luxurious. There were very few mosquitos, if any (late April). Both internet and television were working fine; no issues there. There weren't many other guests around which pretty much meant you had a private beach and pool. The view from the room was fantastic. Porsche was easy to contact and checked in during our stay (via email) to ask if everything was going well. The staff (guards, front desk) was very friendly and helpful.

VincentMay 2016

This is our 2nd visit to Porsche's condo. You can not find a better location. Private beautiful beach, perfect swimming, beautiful pool, great patio, safe area. People ask me what there is at the location; I say "Guards and Gardeners". As mentioned, this was in the process of being the nicest resort in Jamaica and then final construction was stopped (you can look it up on the web). The marble, buildings, etc are exquisite and the condo itself is really, really nice and perfect for your stay. The resort itself is not finished (I hear it was bought recently, so maybe it will be finished), but we love it the way it is. Empty and quiet, safe, and breathtaking. Porchsche's condo has everything you need and it is lovely, clean, and well appointed. You have to go in the service elevator and they only use power where needed and a trip to Scotches across the road will give you enough Jerk Chicken, pork and wonderful side dishes to last a few days. We hit the store for eggs, milk, and drinks before we got to the condo and then Scotchies for the best Jerk on the planet. We rent a car to get around and honestly feel like we live there. Nothing wrong with that. All staff in and out of the place is efficient, friendly, and helpful. We like to believe we live there for a few days. This is off season so there was 2 people on the beach our first day, 1 person on our 2nd, and 3 people the 3rd. That's it! Last time we were in Jamaica we stayed at Porsche's condo for 3 days and then moved to a Hilton resort. I didn't know better. One minute into the Hilton with all the people, loud pool games, and mediocre all inclusive food (and I am a Diamond member and LOVE Hilton) I was in shock and wanted to go back to Porshes's condo and vowed to be back (which is what we did). I fly Southwest frequently for work and the points trip to Jamaica coupled with Porche's condo makes me feel like I have found paradise. We will be back again, as soon as my Southwest points recover.

Maria and Carl (C&M Bunkhouse) October 2016

Everything good - exactly as described by the host. I really enjoyed my time near Montego Bay. As many people below are saying, it's good to rent a car if you want to be flexible.

SzymonAugust 2016

The ocean view condo was beautiful and perfect. There was a king bed and hot tub! The view was beautiful and the private beach was only a few steps away. What a beautiful place to relax. Wish we could have stayed longer. A car was essential for us to get around to get to town although cabs probably wouldn't be too expensive.

KamecaJuly 2016

Owner was fantastic with staying in communication with us. Advised of available transportation options and ensured we has local contact. Upon checking in, there were a few hiccups and both Lorna and her local contact went above and beyond to ensure they did all they could to assist and rectify the situations. The house is in a safe and quiet community not far from downtown Montego Bay. There is even a convenience store across the road which is run by one of the neighbors. This rental perfectly suited our needs and we were more than pleased with the level of attention paid to our rental. Highly recommend!

AshlieJanuary 2016

I stayed at the house with my fiance and it was a great experience. We were able to get away from the normal hotel scene and see a lot more of jamaica. The house is beautiful and so spacious. One great point that I absolutely love, was the fact that there are UK plug sockets in the house!! I was able to charge my phone easily with no problems. Lorna is great and we were I was able to keep in contract with her very very easily through out my trip. The area was just stunning and we went for walks a lot. The locals were very welcoming so we felt right at home from the first day. I would advise to have a car as it was a lot easier to get around but there are taxis right outside the house which is just so convenient! My partner and I would love to thank you Lorna for welcoming us into your beautiful house as we had a wonderful time and would love to come back asap. As soon as we can get back out to Jamaica, we shall be calling you to book the house again. Again thank you we had a lovely time.

Tiffany December 2015

Lorna was a great host and the property was exactly as described in the listing.

Lorna is very great with open communication. Her home in Jamaica is beautiful and the area is peaceful. Its quite a distance from town so you would need sufficient transportation. We had little issue with the television but everything else was great. I would stay again if the opportunity presented itself. Thank you!

Really cute apartment in a quiet gated complex located on the North coast - access to beach, pool, beach grill entertainment on weekends. Modernized with loft; a.c. ceiling fan, Sofa bed in living room, bedroom in loft. Hot water, a.c., full kitchen.

The property is nice - the exterior of the buildings are weathered (need painting) but there is a natural charm; the inside of this apartment is modern, very clean, and a nice breeze blow through the apartment. View to the pool with beach in the background. Take the steps from the pool to the beach, often frequented by windsurfers and local fishermen. Weekend beach entertainment.
Note: the bed is a double-size, and the loft ceiling is a bit low so tall persons over 5'10" may find it low.
Beach, pool, small playground, pool bar, beach grill.
Our hostess, Mitzie, lives on property and is available in the evenings and by phone/email.

Safe and quiet.
Local taxis pass the front gate and private drivers can be arranged for tours.
wifi is $7/day or $70/month.
We ask guests to turn off a.c. when you leave the apartment - this helps us to keep the rental price low by saving on electric (which is very expensive here).
BTW- - if you rent on a long-term rate (base rent + electric), note electric costs are $0.47/kwh, considerably higher than North american rates) but still a deal overall for long term renters (one month+).

I had a pleasant stay, I really enjoyed the time spent at the beach.

LarmarApril 2014

Even before I took off for Jamaica, Karen, the hostess, was accessible, knowledgable, and friendly! Upon arrival, she made me feel right at home, as if we were old friends! I will definitely be recommending Sea Castles to anyone looking for great value and a relaxing getaway. The loft apartment was the perfect place for a weekend getaway, close to restaurants, and other resorts! I highly recommend staying here! And I will definitely be returning... With friends and family. I can't wait!

VickySeptember 2016

Just got home from spending 2 weeks at sea castles. Beautiful view. The apartment was nice and just what we needed for our vacation. Although a little dated (which we were aware of before we booked) it was comfortable. Karen was great and helpful anytime we called her and even drove us to the airport after the driver wasn't available. (Thanks again for that!!) being able to have family and friend stop by and visit was the best part about staying at sea castles. the pool was great but newer lounge chairs would have been awesome. But having the bar so close you could easily forget about that part. Overall our vacation at Debra and Gladys apartment was great and we look forward to returning there the next time we're in Jamaica

TOctober 2016

I loved staying at Debra's apartment! It was the perfect place for me. I got to know many locals and International travelers that live at Sea Castles. I loved the sweet little beach and pool. I had a great time at Miss Rose's bar. It was a peaceful, relaxing week. The kitchen was set up so nicely for cooking as well. Debra arranged a ride from the airport and to the grocery store with Gladys, who was a hoot, it was all perfect. The place is not a 4-star, fancy, all- inclusive, but that is not the kind of person that I am anyway and it was a great world traveler kind of place. It felt more real. I was sad to leave. I look forward to staying there again someday.

StephanieApril 2015

If you are looking for a nice and simple place to stay, this is the place to be, has all the basics and more, private beach, pool, a tiny bar where you can get some drinks and a bit of local advice from the bar staff, just across the street and up the road are many little stores where you can find most of what ever you might need to cook or clean at a price way lower than the large grocery / super market. Its a lovely quiet place perfect for a minimalist like myself.

ErjonNovember 2016

Well when I arrive I was a little taken back by the peeling on the building (which she mentions in the ad), but as I stayed over the next four days the place really started to grow on me, it became very charming- in fact I didn't want to leave..... it was a nice little, modern studio apartment- neatly decorated, clean and cozy.. The host Mitzie was phenomenal, she represents this condo for Debra very well , from the moment I was greeted by her she began accommodating me to make sure I was comfortable- the first issue was the internet not working she worked her heart out trying to fix it until finally giving me her own personal internet to use, she really is a genuine person-accommodating me on Christmas Day even while attending to her sick child!....she constantly checked on me making sure I was ok and if I needed anything... I spoke with Debra (the owner) as well who assured me that if I wasn't satisfied with anything she would accommodate me the best she could.............Well to describe the experience-the apartment is a studio loft, with earth tone colored furniture, the sofa lets out into a bed and there is also a bed upstairs-also the sheets were clean smelled like bleach(which I like :) the double patio doors open to the curtains blowing a warm breeze off the beach and green meadows...the wide open green meadows was something you could imagine running through like a tv commercial......:) the beach Is private, natural and beautiful It feels like having a little slice of Jamaica to yourself- I could sat on the beach all day I really enjoyed the quietness and serenity of the waves- no crowds just windsurfers and a few locals enjoying there swim as well....this beats any crowded resort anyday......While there, we ordered a couple of Red stripes and freshly caught red snapper from the beach bar and it was delicious, also the pool on the grounds is nice with a pool bar which we ordered drinks from. The neighbors - everyone that I encountered was very friendly.... - after four days it started to feel like home, I could stay there for months...also security is all over the place and they are very friendly and attentive, so you always feel safe, we walked to the end of property driveway to catch local taxis into town for $2.00 for shopping , restaurants and nightlife...although the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, we ate out mostly... hey im on vacation- splurge a (URL HIDDEN) we got ready to leave i was telling my friend how i would redecorate the place and what color curtains and rugs i would choose if It was my place but then reality kicked in ..."this is not your place time to go home"!!!! :(....... I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet, private getaway and will be back...thanks again Mitzie for everything, you Rock Girl!!

AutumnJanuary 2015

We had a fantastic stay here. The location by the beach is perfect - but still just a quick cab to downtown MoBay. Staying here really does feel like staying in a castle! The architecture of the buildings is really impressive. It had plenty of character. Did I mention it's right on the beach?!? We went down as soon as we got there and the water was lovely. It's really secluded and most of the times we were the only ones on the beach. The pool is also really nice to swim in and it goes to 9 feet deep! Mitzie and Debra gave us plenty of instructions on getting around and things to do, and were easily available if we needed something. There is plenty of shopping on the main road for souvenirs but also for clothes, jewelry, etc. Not to mention a variety of good restaurants, we especially enjoyed the Chill Out Hut which is on the beach and sometimes has live music. You have to go to Scotchies for the jerk chicken, but don't miss the ice cream place next door to it - rum and raisin ice cream is amazing! We had a most relaxing and enjoyable trip and we can't wait to come back!

Our villa is located 20 min drive away from the airport. This is the only private house in all of Montego Bay area right at the seaside! It is FAR from the noisy center, clubs/bars/nightlife, which makes it perfect for rest and relaxation.

UNIQUE LOCATION
===============
Located within walking distance from IBEROSTAR Hotel. If you look at the map of Montego Bay and St.James area, you will see that there is a main road (A1) along the coast. You will also see that every access to the seaside is filled by the hotels, while private houses are located on the other side of the road - usually high up at top of the hills and mountains.
As a result, there is no private property right by the coast, except for our house! That is why when we saw it - we fell in love with it and made it our home.
The view from veranda (balcony) is simply stunning! What is more, it is never hot there because of the fresh sea breeze and the absence of direct sun on the veranda. We love to spend our days and evenings there talking to our guests.
WATER AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
===========================
If you travel to Jamaica for the first time and stay in a private home, you'd soon learn that most locations in Jamaica often have problems with water pressure and electricity supply. What is more, hardly any of them have hot water.
However, we are lucky, because our house is on the water and electricity supply which was specifically created for Iberostar Hotel (*****), and unlike other locations in Montego Bay, we hardly ever experience any water/electricity shortages. Still, please note, that we have a solar heater for hot water, so it can be limited at night or on rainy days. Please, do not expect anything like in Europe or the USA, since even 5 star hotels have issues with water pressure and hot water supply.
INTERNET ACCESS
===============
My work is directly related to the internet and that is why I have to be online 24/7. That is why our house is probably the only place in Jamaica that has THREE internet providers!
1. ADSL (by Flaw provider) with extremely fast connection, which is available EVERYWHERE in the unit. Feel free to watch films and talk via skype.
2. 4G- (by Digicel provider) fast backup internet connection which is available in case of any technical works done by Flaw. This connection allows to use skype/email etc.
3. Cable (by Trident provider). This is a backup connection if the other two fail! It's slow, but enough to send an email.
Please beware, many locations in Jamaica say "they have internet", but it usually turns out to be too slow or non-existent. Or it only works at a certain location of the place. The reason for that is - good internet connection is extremely expensive in Jamaica and people just don't bother buying it. However, I personally have to buy it anyway because of my work, and of course it is available to our guests for free.
So, when we say we have internet - we mean it!
IMPORTANT: there is NO telephone land line in most parts of Jamaica, so there is no telephone in the room. However, if you stay longer than one night and need to make calls - we would provide you with the local sim card (micro, mini, regular, depending on your phone).
KITCHEN (private)
==============
We are happy to provide you with everything you need for cooking if you wish to cook by yourself and save up on spending money in restaurants. There is a cooker, microwave, pans, plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons etc. If you don't find something you need - just name it and we will bring it for your comfort.
LIVING ROOM (private)
===============
Feel free to enjoy the cosy living room, where cable TV is available for your extra entertainment. Please view photos.
BEDROOM (private)
===============
There is one Double Bed in the bedroom. There is also one Single Bed in the living room. Bedlinen is provided. Please view photos.
BATHROOM (private)
================
Standard Jamaican bathroom - small, but very comfortable. Bath tab, shower, mirror. Towels, toilet paper and soap are provided. Please view photos.
VERANDA (shared with one more apartment)
==============================
The access to veranda is available directly from your living room, where you can enjoy the view of the ocean while having breakfast/lunch/dinner, simply relax or meet up with us and/or other guests to discuss your trip and/or adventures!
PARKING
=======
The secured parking is available inside the gated area at no additional cost.
GARDEN
=======
Free to enjoy the view of a true Jamaican garden at the back of our house, which includes such exotic plants as coconut, guinep, soursop, breadfruit, ackee and almond trees. You can also try fresh plantains and bananas if there is season for them!
GATED AREA.
===========
Our house is located in our private secured gated area. There are CCTV cameras installed at every corner of our villa. We also have guarding dogs, who are rather small and always friendly to our guests, but they don't let any strangers get anywhere close to the house, unless they are invited by us.
AIR CONDITIONER
===============
An old type of air conditioner is available in the room.
LAUNDRY
========
Laundry is available at extra cost of 10 USD per one wash.
We live at ...

Since our house is the only house built at the sea side, the closest neighbourhood starts on the other side of the road (5 minutes walk) and is called Lilliput. It is a beautiful authentic Jamaican neighbourhood which lays in the hills, with true Jamaican houses, people, traditions and hospitality. If you wish to experience the way of life of Jamaicans, listen to some reggae or just talk about life with more locals - we'd be happy to introduce you to our friends as well!
In the morning you will have a chance to see our friends fishermen passing by our house and can even buy freshly caught fish from them if you choose to have it for lunch.
We love this neighbourhood, because it is relatively quiet (as much as it can get in Jamaica..), there are many nice people around, and it's not as hot as in any other area of Montego Bay, thanks to the sea access and fresh wind!
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING!
We mean it. Just see for yourself:
Local shops and Food- 5 minutes.
=========================
5 minute walk to the nearest set of shops, where you can buy the most essential things such as bread, drinks, fruits etc. There is also a small local cafe, where Jamaican cooked food can be bought at a rather low price.
There is even a Jerk Center, which cooks National Jamaican food in the evenings.
Small supermarket - 10 minutes
========================
10 minute walk to the nearest supermarket in the hills.
Public beach - 5 minutes.
===================
5 minute walk to the public SAND beach. Please note, however, sea weed "is included", as unfortunately everywhere in Montego Bay.
Transport - 2 minutes.
===================
2 minute walk to the main road, where you can get a cheap ROUTE TAXI (Jamaican public transport) to go anywhere else in Montego Bay.
This is Jamaica. This means that you should be ready for the following things:
1. Loud Music (Everywhere in Jamaica).
Loud music. It is everywhere in Jamaica! It would seem as if local people never sleep and listen to the music day and night! Since our house is located away from the neighbourhood, we are lucky not to hear music too much at our place, but sometimes you can still hear it a little bit at veranda.
2. Untidy Paintwork (Everywhere in Jamaica).
I've seen many complaints in the internet for other locations and even for some 5* hotels about the paintwork in Jamaica being not tidy. You would see paint from the walls on the ceiling and vice versa. Well, what can I say.. this is true. ALL houses in Jamaica (literally ALL) have untidy paintwork on the walls and ceiling. Why? It seems to be a special Jamaican style for paintwork, because nobody cares much about this :)
3. Seaweed on the beaches (Everywhere in Jamaica).
Don't look at all these pictures of "Montego Bay white beaches" posted in the internet. They are not true! The only beach that doesn't have too much seaweed is Doctor's Cave Beach, which charges 6 USD entrance fee. All other beaches, including those in 5* hotels – ALL have seaweed. It gets cleaned every day, but it comes back in a few minutes, especially in a stormy weather. The reason for that is a simple one – seaweed is protected by the government as natural eco reserve and it is prohibited to completely remove it from the seafloor.
4. Flying cockroaches, small lizards, mice/rats, bees, mosquitoes.(Everywhere in Jamaica).
Hardly anyone talks about this, BUT please beware, you might encounter any of these creatures while staying in any place of Jamaica. Even though all of them are harmless to human, still - if you are allergic to bees, for example, make sure you have the antidote with you!
Please note, there are certain times of the year when you need to be prepared for the following:
Bees are especially active in spring and summer (April-July). However, in 3-5 star hotels you will often see them all year around, because of syrup and other sweet stuff.
Mice/rats may try to break in the house in the search for shelter right after the rainy season (October-November), but you won't see them in other months.
Mosquitoes are especially active during the rainy season (September-November).
Flying cockroaches and lizards are active all year around.
We are doing our best to keep pests away from our house by keeping it clean, putting mesh nets on the windows and asking our guests to keep the doors with mesh nets shut at all times, but if you are afraid of these creatures for one reason or the other, Jamaica might be a bit of a tough place in this case.

This was our first Airbnb experience and I feel we may have been spoiled. The home itself is exactly as described. It is beautiful and the view is amazing. The dogs are so sweet and protective. Irina herself is amazing! Her family is beautiful. In times of need, she went above and beyond for us. Our rental car's tires went flat and she gladly sought out an air pump. When we needed food, a driver, advice she was always there to help. Her advice is absolutely genuine. TAKE HER ADVICE!!! She is so knowledgeable and experienced. She is such a kind and nurturing soul. She is one of those people that you will never forget! We were really sad to say goodbye, but very excited for our next trip. :)

My boyfriend and I were visiting Jamaica for a week. The home is beautiful and the view is amazing. The dogs are cute and protective. The beach is incredible and the neighborhood is very quiet. Irina is amazing! She is kind and always there to help. Don't be afraid to ask her some advices, because she know everything! She suggested many things to visit and told us about the places to avoid (too much tourists, too expensive or not worth the trip). Take her advice! The trip was perfect, can't wait to return at Irina's! 3

My mother and I were visiting Jamaica for a Week from east coast Canada, and Irina helped make our visit full of adventure! She was great at suggesting things to visit that weren't necessarily in the tourist brochures and were more affordable than other tourism-supported excursions. We were a little concerned about getting around from the condo as in Jamaica there aren't any true addresses, however Irina arranged for a driver to pick us up and drop us at the airport, and as for traveling in between I share Irina's encouragement to take a route taxi or rent a car (both of which we did). Route taxis are safe and cheap and go pretty much everywhere, and driving in Jamaica is an awesome way to do as you please (just like at home). There is also an option of hiring a driver for a day to take you anywhere that is quite affordable! Just ask Irina! she'll help you out. We also walked to the Iberostar Resort (10 min walk) to catch a bus for an excursion one day too. We couldn't have been more thrilled to arrive and see PUPPIES! Irina truly loves dogs and I'd only recommend this place if you like them too. There are 3 mature medium sized dogs who are very well behaved and will even go for little walk with you to the beach. Speaking of the beach. You can reach the shore in seconds and there are 2 good spots for swimming within 2-5 min walk. The sea is directly in front of the condo, it is a little rocky in spots, and there is a perfect quiet and sandy beach as well. The "old road" which is now un-used leads east from the condo for about 3-4 kms. Its a great walking trail and leads to sand castles resort. Totally safe and beautiful walk Overall. Irina is a great host. She truly cares if you are having a good time and is always attentive to your requests while also maintaing your privacy. The condo is clean, ground floor accessible, quiet, and comfortable. There is lots of natural landscape around and there is a small convenience store/fruit stand and small restaurant 5 mins walk away. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again.YES(URL HIDDEN)

This place is a true gem, and Irina is absolutely delightful! It was great have her as a host because she is so friendly and really cares about the guests. I would love to stay here again! This is the PERFECT getaway from stereotypical tourists (yuck) and big box hotels. If you are looking for a unique and relaxing experience, the ocean views and quiet nights will more than satisfy you. This is an especially great spot for solo travelers & couples. If you are well traveled and open minded, you will be very happy here. The units come with a kitchen and living room, along with a nice yard space and the sweetest dogs ever! There is a sea wall in front of the house and its a short walk down to a small beach area. Great place to read, meditate, or just chill by waves. If you are the type of traveler who needs more of a "structured" experience (tour guides, all inclusive hotels etc... boooooring), or you are looking to party hard, you will have to make arrangements to find that that. A few things : - WiFi- the house has two networks and the run strong, so no issues about connectivity. - Transport - best bet is to rent a car. There are taxis or Irina can coordinate transport, but it was way easier to jump in my own car and use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps on the phone. Parking is secure. - Amenities - very confortable and felt like staying in an apartment. All the basic necessities are there. The water is heated by solar power so the temperature my fluctuate depending on how much sun is out. Water pressure may be low or high, but hey, that's Jamaica! Again, this is a very comfortable location - especially for experienced & low maintenance types of travelers. Overall, this was a great experience. Not only did I have a nice stay, but I made a new friend as well! Cheers!

Irina is a warm, friendly and responsive host and we were graciously received. The accommodation was as described on the website and so there were no surprises. The place was spacious and clean. The location was good for us and there were no security concerns. The internet service was reliable.

This place was a great hideaway to experience the real Jamaica. It is a central location for one- day trips to either end of island. Beautiful view of ocean from the backyard. We went to sleep to the sound of waves. So peaceful! We enjoyed walking up and walking barefoot a few feet from the house to sit and watch the sunrise together. Space is clean, tidy and just as pictured. We spent most of our time online before bed surfing the Internet Wifi has great strength. Plus it has premium cable, which we didn't get to watch much. Irina was an amazing host. She has a great personality, was down to earth and very knowledge of all aspects of the island. We took her up on her offer to sit down with us and gave us the low down on all of the places to go and things to do on the island. After that convo we knew we made the right choice to stay there! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Chris KaziJuly 2016

Irina and her family (including dogs) were perfect hosts - friendly, accommodating, and full of helpful knowledge of things to do. The villa itself was large, clean and felt like a home away from home. It is the perfect location for anyone wishing to relax and experience the real Jamaica outside of an all-inclusive biodome. The, often late, nighttime conversations with Irina and other guests were a wonderful bonus to end an adventurous, relaxing day in a beautiful country. Our trip would not have been as enjoyable staying anywhere else and we started planning our next visit to Calypso Villa the moment that we arrived home.

ChuckMay 2016

Irina is friendly and knowledgeable about her whereabouts in Mo'Bay. The space is simple, spacious and comfortable. Irina's home is not among the major attraction, but if you'd like a piece of real Jamaican life, there's little neighborhood with the best jerk center just 5 min walk away.

The rooms are spacious and provide all amenities. .

The rooms are spacious but especially cozy due to the decor and the gentle sound of the crashing waves of the Caribbean. All amenities in all rooms, cable, wi-fi, a/c, hot water, restaurant/bar on premise, 2 swimming pools, jacuzzi, free parking and lots of lounge spaces.
The bathrooms are meticulous and all white tiled for added comfort. There is also laptop friendly workspace in every room as well as lounge chair.

Our staff is among the best in the world and very accommodating. We're here to ensure a perfect vacation and a great time.

Just outside the resort there are quite a number of restaurants and bars and local culture which is a must do for foreigners. We are in the safest area of greater Montego Bay and our beaches are spectacular. Reggae Reef is also known as Royal Reef and we're just a few hundred yards from the border of Trelawny and St James. The Chill Out Hut is just a 3 minute walk on our private access road.
We provide complimentary airport transfer for all our guests. Taxis run by 24 hours since we're relatively near the city center.
